Non-Traditional Haggadah - General Transport Unit 179

Non-traditional Haggadah, copied by stencil, illustrations. Most of the texts and illustrations depict the dark days of war in Europe. The back jacket features the emblem of Hebrew Transport Unit 179.

One of the texts refers to the Holocaust: "Come Elijah, to our seder this evening. Few are those who partake ... they can't come, they who fell while searching for a cave or hiding place ... my chair is all smoldering smoke, splinters and cries, all together ... the wounds are still fresh from crying, the pain is to the heavens ...! My blood is permitted! Beat them and the blood of the murdered shall arise ... and return ... and shall never be erased ..."

Additional interesting paragraph, characteristic of the spirit of the soldiers in the Jewish brigade: Our blood has been abandoned and is cheap. There is no one to take revenge other than us. And our only revenge can be one: to create in the Land a power that will guarantee that Jewish blood will not be abandoned forever. Our entire strength and resilience we must invest in this revenge. We have merited to be the fulfillment of the hopes of generations. The fulfillment of the reason for the river of blood and tears that were spilled and are being spilled by our fathers for thousands of years is dependent on us ... and know, therefore - our enemies - you do not frighten us! This land was not given to us by your lovingkindness ... you will not overcome us. We will smash the metal bolts with our heads. The new mines that you concealed will not impede us ... wherever and whoever our enemies may be: whether they are the rioters that pillage and rape or the representatives of the dominant "culture," you will not subdue us ..." and more.

30 pages. 22 cm. Tears in the margins of the binding. Leaves attached with a lace. Fine condition.
